Parallelogram Rod Support
The Parallelogram Rod Supports are required from Standard-Version 3 respectively
Xten-Version 2 onwards. Assembly is as follows:
The support consists of 3 parts: 2 vertical side supports and a horizontal top cradle.
Connect a side support to the top cradle by screwing the parts together. Bolt the vertical
part to the crane arm extension by turning the knurled knob. Connect the other vertical
support to opposite side by turning both knobs simultaneously.
Note: When connecting the second vertical support to the horizontal top cradle and the
crane arm, turn the top and bottom knurled knobs equally to avoid jamming.
When the parallelogram support is mounted, connect the parallelogram rod to the
horizontal top cradle by inserting the locking pin from the upper side, through the
parallelogram rod and into the horizontal top.
Positioning of the Parallelogram Rod Supports:
o Standard-Versions 3, 4, 11 and 12 on the 1st 150cm/5ft extension arm
o Standard-Versions 5, 6, 13 and 14 on the 1st & 2nd 150cm/5ft extension arm
